okeydokey, the budget has just been announced and there has been an increase of 1 acker per post(from 3 to 4) and 2(from 10 to 12) ackers per new thread. Ackers per referral has doubled from 100 to 200. You claim referral ackers by getting other people to register and putting your username in the referral box - be warned, mad moderator mick keeps an eye on all registrations and should you be found cheating the referral system then who knows what he will do...
(rumour has it that fatpie is now indeed within a pie, be warned
